players who are on cooldown can become event owners

Hey, im having an issue where as mentioned in the title players who are on cooldown can become event owners, is there a way to prevent this cause its causing some players to get confused thinking they can take it but when its not locking because their on cooldown and another player steals the event they create tickets etc 

Can you double check @Ghosty and look at your core PveMode settings? The main config for the plugin might have settings you weren't aware of.

If it is set properly there just get a few more details and follow up and we can look into it further.

So these are my convoy pve settings:
 

  "PVE Mode Setting (only for users PveMode plugin)": {
    "Use the PVE mode of the plugin? [true/false]": true,
    "Display the name of the event owner on a marker on the map? [true/false]": true,
    "The amount of damage that the player has to do to become the Event Owner": 100.0,
    "Damage coefficients for calculate to become the Event Owner": [
      {
        "Type of target": "NPC",
        "Damage Multiplier": 1.0
      },
      {
        "Type of target": "Bradley",
        "Damage Multiplier": 1.0
      },
      {
        "Type of target": "Helicopter",
        "Damage Multiplier": 1.0
      }
    ],
    "Can the non-owner of the event loot the crates? [true/false]": false,
    "Can the non-owner of the event hack locked crates? [true/false]": false,
    "Can the non-owner of the event loot NPC corpses? [true/false]": false,
    "Can the non-owner of the event deal damage to the NPC? [true/false]": false,
    "Can an Npc attack a non-owner of the event? [true/false]": false,
    "Can Bradley attack a non-owner of the event? [true/false]": false,
    "Can the non-owner of the event do damage to Bradley? [true/false]": false,
    "Can Helicopter attack a non-owner of the event? [true/false]": false,
    "Can the non-owner of the event do damage to Helicopter? [true/false]": false,
    "Allow the non-owner of the event to enter the event zone? [true/false]": true,
    "Allow a player who has an active cooldown of the Event Owner to enter the event zone? [true/false]": false,
    "The time that the Event Owner may not be inside the event zone [sec.]": 200,
    "The time until the end of Event Owner status when it is necessary to warn the player [sec.]": 60,
    "Prevent the actions of the RestoreUponDeath plugin in the event zone? [true/false]": true,
    "The time that the player can`t become the Event Owner, after the end of the event and the player was its owner [sec.]": 7200.0,
    "Darkening the dome (0 - disables the dome)": 5

and my pve mode settings are:
 

{
  "The time to clear the information of the players' damage to NPC after NPC has take the last damage [sec.]": 150,
  "Block a player from entering the event area if he is the owner of another event? [true/false]": false,
  "Ignore administrators? [true/false]": false,
  "Configuration version": {
    "Major": 1,
    "Minor": 1,
    "Patch": 1
  }
}

So here's a quote from one of my players "People are waiting for convoy announcement, flying in. Doesn't matter if you lock it, they wait, pull NPCs out and kill them"  and here's another i got: "While finishing event it says you can do another in 2h BUT thats not true you CAN do it again and again Sometimes you can kill them but not loot them What's more broken that after you owned the event (or start it) someone else can take it when that happens you both can do the same event (even tho someone else took it) (not in the same clan) i guess that's it if i didnt miss anything"

So the only thing I've noticed myself is that when you take it and it spawns again and your on cooldown other then the chat message when you first take it there's not much else, if its possible would there be a way to make it very clear your on cooldown and cant take the event at all until that's over? like when a player shoots an npc, rockets Bradley etc.. and their on cooldown it pops up with a chat message saying "your on cooldown blocking damage" or something like that. Cause most players think its bugged when it does lock and they do no damage to Bradly's and npc's. 

So here is the first thing I want to point out, you don't have the timer activated in the main configuration.

  "Block a player from entering the event area if he is the owner of another event? [true/false]": false,

You don't have owners being blocked in the main config file.

 

As far as NPCs being pulled away outside the bubble that is somewhat of an issue, but where has the other team gone when this happens? Just curious not debating your issue. We would need to see video or examples of how you are getting multiple owners to the same event though that part definitely should not be happening. Unless perhaps it is something in regards to the first thing I've already pointed out in config then we would need to collect more details as many as possible to look into that further.

I am adding a suggestion to our notes though as far as perhaps a reminder and a configurable timer for how often the reminder can show up if you try to attack something and are locked out. Generally it should be apparent depending on how the server is set up but still that's a great suggestion so we can look into it. Thank you for sharing!
